I can get a bit lazy handling my own dogs- especially after such a long hiatus like we took ! :o) It’s not that we don’t do okay- we just don’t do our best. I was looking forward to this seminar to whip my handling back into shape. It did that and more ! Was the eye opener that I was needing.
Sometimes I still think of Zae as my young, lackadaisical dog who would trot and go around barless jumps. He isn’t. I’ve put so much work into him and the progress he’s made has been unbelievable ! Working with Nancy helped me realize that I need to be a better teammate for Zae as the dog he is now so we can continue to grow as a team. ❤️
Private lessons are now available at my field in Medford. If there is enough interest, I’ll also run a weekly class. See Training and Contact Me. 😊
The dogs had 12 runs total with four 1st places, two 2nd places and a QQ. 🙂 Mayhem earned 1st and 2nd in master jumpers. Zae got 1st place in premier jumpers and standard on saturday and a QQ sunday with 1st in standard and 2nd in jumpers. More importantly, had really nice moments in the ring with both dogs. Mayhem’s ring stress was almost completely gone in one of his runs and it was a blast to run him like that. Zae is having really brilliant moments and is beginning to find his stride a bit more. We’re still learning to be a connected team on course but with not training or competing I am quite pleased with where we are at. His contacts his weekend were so lovely too. Something that I am wanting to train and should be able to soon now that we are acquiring some equipment again. 🙂 Back to training now !
